Rules or Real?
I read LOADS of styling articles due to what I do to help pay the bills.
Every time I see a headline of an article saying: "French girls laugh when American women wear these items" OR :This is what you need to wear to be stylish" I have huge question marks in my mind.
As in ???????!!!!!!! Yes, followed by exclamation marks.
Of course I love reading the info. I even love some of it. SOME.
But I am me. I am not French or American, I am a South African, living in Africa. AND I understand that there’s a difference between following rules and being real.
Being the real McKoy in my case means wearing bright colours when I feel like it and wearing neutrals when I want to.
Wearing my sneakers with dresses, skirts and pants even though I’m 53. Whether it’s what someone else thinks is cool or not.
Being real means I have a budget for clothes and I compromise on quality...a lot!
REAL is a relationship and not a religion.
A relationship with Jesus, myself and others, and also with my body and my clothes.
Therefore I choose not to bow before rules, I’ll rather accept His grace.
